Haha, right. Francis Bacon painted the metal one in 1953.
Not this Francis Bacon: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Bacon that died in 1626,
but this one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Bacon_(artist)
It was based on a painting by Valazquez in 1650.
She's a practicing member of the cult of cthulu.
Here's a write-up from the Smithsonian: https://americanart.si.edu/artwork/girl-i-left-behind-me-11492
It says it's based on this song: https://youtu.be/FW0b7O5EFS8?si=zjDgbS8CL5zZagbz
I grew up near one of the battlefields and they attract all kinds of history buffs. In, fact my history teacher in high school is one of these guys.
He'd take us to the battlefield, the middle of the field, and explain what we'd be seeing if we were there at the time. It was incredible, even as a kid. But, I still didn't have as much appreciation for it as I would now.
Education is wasted on the youth.
I see him on FB occasionally and ask him to make videos, but he doesn't have the time. So it goes.
Omg, you saying that is giving me 3-body flashbacks. Book 2 or 3 I think.
Thanks, I'll change it. :)
I'm American. :) USANUMBER1.
Or they'll start injecting ads directly into the media.
Oh wait, they're already doing this. I forgot about the 45 minute Chevy ad in Barbie.
I don't know, I know it works in a lot of places automatically, but I'm not sure how it works. Maybe if the thumbnail has some sort of pointer to the real image?
That's interesting, I did not think the letter had that big of an impact.
For me it was Bernie. I remember a lot of us on Reddit were all about Bernie.
Iirc, Bernie had a lot of steam and it seemed like again Clinton was going to be pushed aside for a grass-roots candidate (just like with Barak years earlier).
And Bernie said he was not going to give up the race, because even if he didn't win the votes he could still be voted in at the national convention.
And as the DNC neared, things were looking great. Clinton was giving paid speeches to wall street and Bernie was tearing her whole campaign apart because he was saying, give money back to people and she was saying keep things the way they were.
And then, among mounting pressure, two weeks before the convention he concieded out of nowhere. At least that's what it seemed like to us.
Then emails leaked that showed the Democratic Party had colluded with Clinton to get Bernie out of the race!
We couldn't believe it. We were devestated. So some people went to the DNC and were making a big stir, demanding that Bernie get back on the ballot.
And it all came to a waterfall moment when Sarah Silverman was on stage. And people were chanting Bernie and she lost it and told everybody to shut up and said the Bernie supporters were stupid.
And that was it. The only thing that came out of it was somebody got fired, but there was no regard or representation for us in the Democratic Party anymore.
They didn't care about what we wanted, and they were just as crooked as they had always told us the Republicans were.
For me it was a massive dissolutionment, and drove me to Trump. Since he was saying we need to take our economy back from the 1%.
Thanks!
